Medium tan, yellow undertones.
This month?? I don’t own it but I’ve really loved the Bretman Rock x Colourpop Wet collection, despite the chalky matte blue and the warm brown. All of the looks I’ve seen people make with it have made me go “oooooh” and tempt me to rethink the decision to pass.
Most used? Wet & Wild highlighter, Blossom Glow. It’s a cool soft pink that I just adore.
Most used eye product this month? I guess that would be my mascara, Maybelline Colossal Big Shot, and Nars Coconut Grove for brows and sometimes eye liner. For shadows, Karreuche x Colourpop Brown Sugar and the Polite AF Super Shocks with Birthday Cake, Drift and Deep Dive probably taking the lead in usage.
Medium-warm (MAC NC30)
Favorite product this month: This is impossible, I bought so many new things in November. I am just getting acquainted with some, and I haven’t even tried others yet. I will say I’ve used my new Sonia G Builder One eye brush and my La Mer powder brush almost daily since I’ve gotten them, I really love them. Two other standouts are the Dior Midnight Wish eyeshadow palette and the Laneige Lip Sleeping Mask (which I use under Bite’s Agave lip mask, lol).
But I haven’t yet cracked my new Mothership V palette or or Natasha Denona’s Gold Palette. I have a feeling those two are going to be pretty special.
Most used face/cheek products:
Everything from the Hourglass Ambient Unlocked Palette. I was against buying this because the pans were so small but I love it.
Most used eye product: My Huda Rose Gold and Desert Dusk Palettes. I use the mattes from both palettes frequently, and then bring in satins, shimmers and glitters from other palettes. My primary focus on new palettes has been Pat McGrath’s Subliminal Dark Star and Sublime Bronze Temptation from the Opulence collection. And I’m still actively using PM’s Decadence, Mothership III, and La Vie En Rose palettes.
Your skin tone/coloring: fair, cool
Favorite product this month? a tie between UD’s Born to Run and ABH Sultry
Most used face/cheek product this month? Face: Dior Perfect Foundation and IT CC Cream; cheek – no surprises here – it’s Dior Rosy Glow blush

Wow, Erica, I just noticed you look like you have great skin! Doing anything special skincare wise?
Cera Ve skin cleanser and a 2% BHA lotion. Also I avoid fragrance, natural and synthetic and alcohol denat in products. It really has been a game changer. Also I try not avoiding sunscreen. I’m turning 40 in a few weeks. I’ve worn SPF 30 or more since I’ve been 13. It has made a difference!

Favorite product this month: nothing really was a favorite
Most used face/cheek product: I was travelling for about half the month and I put together a travel kit of things I could apply quickly and in badly lit hotel bathrooms plus TSA friendly items. My face kit used the depotted blush from the Emily Needs palette. I used it daily while I was away and was happy to declutter it when I got home. Pretty enough shade but did not blend well. I also used the e.l.f. blur stick primer everyday and my Japanese drugstore foundation, Kate Skinmaker Zero. When I got home, I switched to the Fenty primer and Benefit Benetint cheek color, which I am trying to use up. I finished the Kanabo foundation so it’s been the KGD Moisture foundation.
Most used eye product this month: I travelled with the Chanel Candeur eat Experience quad and used it daily, along with the copper shimmer from Viseart Minx. Since I’ve been home, I have been using the PMG Mothership II daily, with the transition shade coming from my ABH Powder Bronzer. Also KVD Tatoo Liner in the dark brown color, Buxom mascara, and Nyx Wonder Pencil in my lower waterline.
Your skin tone/coloring: Next to my name!
Favorite product this month? A few noteworthy favorites are Nars Audacious Lipstick in Sheena used with MAC Caketop Lipglass, Siouxie Audacious lipstick and Hot Tryst Cheek. Also, Huda Beauty New Nude Palette and PMGL Metalmorphosis!
Most used face/cheek product this month? Besides foundation, definitely my Nars Hot Tryst cheek palette! I really love it, especially the 2 darker blushes and both highlighters.
Most used eye product this month: Is it made by Pat McGrath? Then I’ve been using it to death! I’m enjoying most of the looks I’ve put together with Bronze Seduction and Temptation, plus Metalmorphosis.

Favorite product this month?
Smashbox Primerizer – I’ve never used it, but saw a travel size for a good price so I picked it up. I’ve been feeling like my foundations just haven’t been looking as good as they used to. I was worried that a product that sounded like moisturizer would make my normal/combo skin lean towards too oily in my t-zone, but I actually really like this Primerizer. My foundation looks lovely, isn’t separating on my nose like it had been with other primers I’ve been playing with, and it feels great – like wearing nothing. My foundation is lasting well too so I am definitely buying the full size of Primerizer!
Most used face/cheek product this month? My go to blush is Tarte Amazonian Blush in Paarty – got it as a travel sized one I got with a Christmas gift last year (I think it was some type of set but can’t remember if it came with other blushes or something else) and have yet to hit pan even though I wear it constantly. It is the perfect nude blush that I can build up if I want or keep natural. Love this stuff.
Most used eye product this month? I’ve been digging a natural brown tight line (1. because I ran out of black liner and haven’t gone to repurchase yet and 2. I think a redder leaning brown like my MUFE makes my green eyes pop) and mascara as my only eye makeup at work. I have been switching between two favorites MUFE Aqua XL in M60 (dark brown with red undertone) and Smashbox Always On Gel Liner in Brewed (dark chocolate brown).
